<p>I created this screening room for the Broadway play Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark. It includes streaming video and css framework. I do many of these screening rooms for video games, television shows and movies as a way for advertisers to show trailers, coming attractions, and create buzz about the product. Video is one of the best ways to capture and keep an audience on the web. I create so many of these campaigns that it now takes me a couple of hours from start to finish!</p>

<p>    Fact or Faked is one of many Syfy TV show websites I’ve developed and maintain for NBC. I am the Lead developer for this website. The main technologies involved are HTML, CSS, PHP, and XML.</p>
<p>Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files revolutionizes paranormal programming by investigating the evidence witnesses post on the Internet every day. Have you ever seen a photo or video online and wondered, &#8220;Is this real?&#8221; This is the show that will answer that question.</p>
<p>Heading up the Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files team is Ben Hansen, a former FBI agent with a life-long fascination with the paranormal. Now, having left the agency, he leads a young team of intrepid investigators who will convene to dissect the latest unusual images and decide whether they merit further investigation. Grainy videos will be brought to life as the team conducts thorough and elaborate experiments in an attempt to recreate the phenomena, and Ben will make the final choice which cases will require a trip into the field.</p>
<p>Once an investigation is underway, the team will talk to witnesses, carry out experiments using the latest in high tech detection devices, collect physical samples, and determine whether a case should be debunked, or whether it&#8217;s a baffling paranormal mystery that might even put the team in danger. It&#8217;s all in a day&#8217;s work for the dogged investigators of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files. </p>

<p>    Face Off is one of many Syfy TV show websites I’ve developed and maintain for NBC. I am the Lead developer for this website. The main technologies involved are HTML, CSS, PHP, and XML.</p>
<p>    Face Off is a competition/elimination series exploring the world of special-effects make-up artists and the unlimited imagination that allows them to create amazing works of living art. The contestants are tasked with elaborate feature challenges including executing full body paint make up on models and creating their own horror villain. Not only will the show incorporate effects make-up, it will include a wide range of skill sets including prosthetics, 3-D design, sculpting, eye enhancers, casting and molding. Each episode involves incredible reveals of the competitors&#8217; finished work, and the drama of one contestant being sent home by the panel of expert and celebrity judges. It all culminates in one winner and one grand prize that will launch a career.</p>

<p>I help maintain this site as a member of the development team.  My contributions include home page special features, interactive quizzes, streaming video, episode synopsis, galleries, and other interactive features. I also regularly manage the advertising banners on this site.</p>
<p>About the show:</p>
<div>The world ended with no warning, and all that was left … was hope.</div>
<div>
<p>The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies. Intelligent robots, they were used as slaves and soldiers to fight humanity&#8217;s wars. But the Cylons became sentient and they rebelled. Man and machine fought to a bloody stalemate, then the Cylons withdrew to a remote region of space.</p>
<p>A truce between the Twelve Colonies and the Cylons lasted for 40 tense and silent years. Each year, on the anniversary of the treaty-signing, humanity sent an envoy to the neutral ground of Armistice Station to meet with a Cylon envoy. For 39 years, no Cylon envoy came.</p>
<p>Then, on the 40th anniversary, a stunning blonde — a Cylon in human form — met the human envoy … moments before the Cylons vaporized the station and launched a genocidal attack on the Twelve Colonies.</p>
<p>In one devastating day, billions of human lives were consumed by nuclear fires. Only those souls fortunate enough to be aboard starships were able to band together and escape and flee into deep space, led by the sole surviving Colonial warship, the battlestar <em>Galactica</em>.</p>
<p>The <em>Galactica</em> and its crew seemed to be unlikely saviors for humanity&#8217;s fewer than 50,000 desperate survivors. The ship was old and had been about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum when the Cylon attack occurred. In the aftermath its commanding officer, William Adama, found himself responsible for safeguarding the last remnants of the human race.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the annihilation of the Colonial government on Caprica resulted in the succession of Laura Roslin, the Secretary of Education, to the presidency. Driven by prophetic visions and political necessity, she set the fleet upon a quest that will take it into the farthest reaches of unexplored space … in search of the mythical, lost &#8220;13th colony&#8221; — <strong>Earth</strong>.</p>
</div>
